15.18 miles (frustrating Id say whats with the 0.18 miles thats gonna annoy me so much ahhh)

1hr 58 mins average 7.49 pace

•  8.11  warming up
• 7.33 not bad hilly route fishermans path
• 7.30 still abit undulating
• 7.18 hmmm cross wind from behind
• 7.43 trying to hold back to make 15 miles
• 7.57 cross head wind and still holding back
• 8.10 head wind direct really strong gusting wind urggh 
• 7.42 head wind on looking to my side at Paul he has a very red face cycling LOL
• 7.40 still cross wind its hard when a gust of wind side steps you lol and I nearly knock Paul off his bike ha ha ha 
• 7.42  mile 10 cross wind urghhhh 
• 7.24 sheltered now and happy how good does that feel coming out of wind and into shelter I was zooming along.
• 6.58 picking the pace up still completely sheltered on the by-pass high hedges :-)
• 7.04 direct head wind I was running at 6 min effort honestly due to the fact Pauls bike had a puncture we were about 0.5 mile from home so I gave it some juice and race hard there and back so he could fix the puncture and the idea now was to stretch whilst he fixed the bike and jog and end on 15 miles which I did very slowly as my legs stiffened up so much waiting for paul to fix the bike, even though I stretched 
• 8.31 mile 14 ouch
• 8.28 mile 15 ouchie ouch ouch 

and then I spent 2 mins photoshopping you mr pink panther with your hair that looks like the size of a tree LMAO

Week off work this week so I decided I was going to take it as a recovery week as such rather than train more, Im going to train the same and take more rest, as before Ive trained allot more but im not in marathon training yet and this morning I felt under the weather.

I knew as well I had quite a few hours of tidying and clearing out this is room no 3 and another trip to the tip with a full car of tat ha ha but hey its worth all the work it looks so much better.  We havent stayed in a house this long before and moved so many times that we havent ever had time to hoard tat but we have done this time and Im clearing it all out Yay.

after all this lifting and moving stuff and clearing out I was shattered, and did a very easy 3 mile jog and thats it for today Im afraid Im being Mrs sensible this week (wow get me lol)

and I have to go because a cuppa of lovely tea and chocolate biscuits await me hmmmmmm 

Session day today..... but gonna go shopping 1st yes me shopping ha ha probably end up at the sports shop again!

I Always wear nike trainers not because theyre Nike but because they dont cause me any problems with my feet so I stick to whats good for me.  I always treat myself to some Nike Id trainers for my marathon....

1st pair left shoe Dylan and right shoe Dylan    

2nd marathon   Sam on the right shoe and Sub 3 on the left well I missed it by 1 min so not doing that again!

 3rd Marathon I have upto 8 letters on each trainer so any Ideas ????? please 

Okay what a bum deal I had another session end prematurely I am not sure why these sessions are not going right but I have one or two guesses.....

1 mile warm up

2.5 mile tempo run 6.30 pace stopped at 2.5 should have at least completed 3 miles at the least but I felt so sick I wanted to throw up, so I stopped and couldnt even get going again so just jogged in 1.5 miles.  I either have to eat more as I do eat more for my long runs and I seem to be ok on my long runs.... or Im just getting too stressed out I have had stomach ulcers in the past and my stomach is all over the place at the moment so Im just trying to cope with eating the right foods for this and not go on more medication but if needs must I will take the meds !

Not a happy bunny, also fed up I dont take to not being in my routines I like routines and love to keep busy.... I do need to rest up this week but my mind is not letting me.  

but these cheered me up

Well slept better last night, it was broken but got at least 9 hours in so thats good.

I went for a mid morning run how nice was that, the sun was out it was a bit damp but not too cold.  Dylan cycled with me it's a usual route fishermans path coast road, by-pass, S'port Road and home.  

I went out really easy to make sure Im okay, and I forgot to stretch last night after such a bad short run I thought Id be okay but no chance there my hammy was stiff, and I could feel my hip too.  The agreement with Dylan was run at his pace he was cycling...I had to pick it up he wanted to cycle at 9min pace this was killing me so I upped it to 8min pace which was good for both of us, although all the way down the by-pass was a breeze urghhh.

 Not much to report a couple of oldies walking there dogs and I did have a moment I thought hmmmm we didnt see anyone for ages going down the path through the woods then I saw four men in a line walking towards us,  Knuckle duster at the ready but we were ok, I just said to Dylan pick the pace up for a little while, I didnt like that at all. I run down there all the time and I cant remember the last time I felt that uncomfortable, but I was concerned for Dylan too.... Survived that then as we ran down the by-pass we got to see the helicopter take off at the local small cadet like RAF base Woodvale. Dylan liked that.

Windy today not as windy as last Sunday but still windy phhhhhhttt I Ran early evening as it was going darker Paul cycled with me, which was good although my hammy and hip were real stiff.

Some miles were slower than 8 min pace and some faster 7 min pace but it all went okay just the wind made it harder too.

10 miles 1hr 17 mins

Nothing to add a normal night :-)

I havent done much today somewhat not like me, I had a nice sleep in as im off work this week and really enjoyed playing on the xbox 360 with Dylan.  

We went out for lunch then home to walk the dogs, we took them to the beach a good 4.5 mile walk and we both really enjoyed it.... we raced up to the top of the biggest sand dune, Dylan had Simba the siberian husky (he is trained to pull on command) so I set you set off first up the sand dune, I shouted HIke HIke (and simba went mad pulling dylan and helping him up the sanddune, I had to pull my dog up the sand dune hes an American Akita name Tyson and weighing in at 13 stone,  hes a big dude but very friendly, I still got to the top 1st LOL (nothing wrong with being competitive now is there! )

:-) 

Not run yet will update in about 2 hour after my run but I couldnt resist posting this today I took my dogs for a walk as usual with Dylan my son and the cat Z his name is decided to follow us and stay walking how cool is my cat ha ha ha

Nearly 50 miles never mind, Walked the dogs today, Dylan was playing with his friends at the village so we walked up to him and back so only about 3 miles but not bad.

Lazy day, dylan didnt have a football match although training this morning so we watched the training weather isnt too bad today, but its supposed to be high winds tomorrow great eh just in time for my long run...
